Mental health in the context of psychosocial reabilitation and interdisciplinarity

The objective of the present work is to reflect on concepts of psychosocial rehabilitation and interdisciplinarity in the field of mental health. This study points out the importance of those themes for the mental health and/or psychiatric nursing knowledge and practice. Based on complex thought and ethic-esthetic paradigm, criticism is made regarding the rational paradigm. It also aims at building knowledge that can stimulate reflection, investigation, curiosity, questioning of "certainty" and the acceptance of multiple competitive narratives. Psychosocial rehabilitation is understood as a conception, not as a technique. Its is a process which enables the user to establish social and affectionate relationships in different contexts: at home, at work and society. Interdisciplinary is the capacity of converging different specialized knowledge on the construction of one text. It was observed that the discussion of these themes allows the nursing professionals to understand their practices and knowledge on a Utopian, ethical and esthetic dimension.
